Hi,
My name is Dora Cepeda and I believe your Grandmother was my fathers sister. My fathers name was Juan E. Cepeda, his parents name were Juan and Nicolasa. Dad had 4 sisters and 1 brother, Paula, Maria Luz, Elisa, Dora,and Ismael. Dad was born in El Moral, Mexico but raised in Crystal City, Tx.I only met my Dads parents 2 times when I was very young. They came to CA once and we made a trip to Piedras Niegras to see them and some of dads other relatives.They spoke no english at all. I only new one of my aunts (Maria Luz)who lived in CA and she named one of her sons Ismael. Dads other sister Paula had a daughter named Lupana whom my mom still sees pretty regularly.She also lives in CA. I have a sister named Elisa also. My mother spoke of your Grandmother occasionaly, saying she had many children (10 I believe)and was married twice? She said she lived in michigan for awhile. She also said your Grandmother had lighter colored eyes, maybe green? My father passed away about 4 years ago @ 82 yrs. I can speak to my cousins and find out if they know anymore about the Family. Do you have any family members living in CA?

Hello Dora! My name is Monica Galvez. This is fantastic information, thank you!! we are definately talking about the same Cepedas :). My grandmother Dora passed away in 96' and is buried in Crystal City. I met some of her siblings at the funeral, but I don't remember exactly which ones...what I do know, is they all looked alike! My grandma had 12 kids: Santiago(passed away when he was a baby & I believe that was her grandfathers name as well. she referred to them as Papa Chago and Mama Quencha?), Nicolasa, Carmela, Jaime, Amalia, Teresa, Abraham, Jocobo, Ricardo, Miguel, Idalia(my mom) and Corina. This means I probably have hundreds of cousins(no lie)! My grandma did live in Crystal, san antonio and then Wisconsin. She spent the last 2 yrs of her life in Crystal before passing away from Alzeihmers. I do remember her telling us she had relatives in CA and Monterrey Mx. Most of her descendants live in Wisconsin and Texas. I would love to start a family tree/history so any and all information is appreciated. my email address is: monagalvez824@gmail.com and/or you can find me(and other relatives) on facebook by searching mona galvez/ monica galvez texas. Do you happen to have any pictures of your dad and his siblings as kids? I'm more than willing to share as much info as you'd like(that I or my mother know of). It has been a joy hearing from you and being able to exchange information, and know that I have relatives in CA. It's a small world after all. I can't wait to share the news with my mother. Thank you!!
